Molly and Olivia want to paint their dog house to keep their dog warm in the winter. The colors they have are black gray and white. Before painting the doghouse they need to decide which color would keep the dog the warmest. They decide to test the colors using a model of a doghouse. What is the effect of different lid colors on the air temperature inside the glass jar exposed to the lamp?

Respuesta :

Black lid-absorbs all wavelengths of light and converts them into heat, so the Temperature increases more than the white lid.
White lid - reflects all wavelengths of light, so the light is not converted into heat and the temperature does not increase noticeably
Grey-is still light but darker than white so the temperature would increase more than the white lid but less than the black lid
